Great way to wake up

Well, what a way to wake up in the morning. I just found out that yesterday I sold two books internationally. One to Japan and another to Singapore. I would assume the people who bought these have already bought the first book. I love the fact I can see where the books go but it would be nice to who they go to. This would give me a chance to thank these people for their support. Wahoooo international !!! Not bad for only being available for two weeks.

Carol, my sister in law got a big surprise when she opened her book. It was printed upside down. I of course replaced it but what a hoot it would be as she is sitting on the bus or in a doctor’s office to see the weird look on the faces of the others as she is reading a book that looks like she is reading upside down. I would add, “It goes to show you what we from other planets can do, stay tuned and I will show you how I can read it sideways.” lol lol

A celebration with friends

A wonderful group of friends

Yesterday this lovely group of friends, most of who we have known for 30 years, helped me celebrate the publishing of my new book. Don’t you just want to hugs them all lol. We started out as friends when we all had young children we now call ourselves the ‘ grandmothers club’ and now show pictures of our grandchildren. Amazing.

Dear Lord

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and we are not sure which way to turn. I wrote this piece a very long time ago. I somehow thought today I needed to post it. Maybe it will lift someone’s spirits who feels down.

Dear Lord, it’s time you take things over for me,

I’ve got too much to handle at this time,

The burdens of this life are full upon me,

And I find life’s mountain just too high to climb.

It’s not that I am shirking all my duties,

Or that I want to give them all to you,

It’s just that I have finally reached my limit,

And I know this is the only thing to do.

I need my time to be a wife and mother,

These things are more important to me now,

And once my mind is clear from other worries,

I know everything will be all right somehow.

Amen.

My son and daughter in laws children’s book

Proudly I would like to introduce my son and my daughter in laws e book ‘Ronnie and the kitty Mystery’

This is a wonderful children’s book.

When family and friends notice the little things.

I had my eyes opened yesterday and what a delightful surprise. I is amazing how many family and friends noticed and followed the things I am doing with my book. My heart was touch when several asked me how my book signings went. Even more encouraging was the fact that even though I am the first author in the family I certainly am not going to be the only. Three other family members were talking to me about their books or pending books. I can only wish that I might have had just a little influence on their decision.

I had compliments on my cover and title which made me feel proud. Some even remember me looking like that.

I am working on ‘A Hairdresser’s Diary’ sequel and this support will make it so much more enjoyable to write.

I have had several customers and friends ask to please be included in my new book and those who I’ve asked give a resounding yes to my request. I respect the trust they have put in me.

This is a thank you to you all both family and friends.
